Eddie McCoy moved into an abandoned ​soap warehouse during prohibition and turned it into a very economical, but surprisingly decent speak-easy. ​ He doesn'​t technically own the building ​and he doesn'​t have a liquor license since prohibition has been repealed. ​ There'​s no electricity,​ no running water, he pays no taxes (apart from protection to the [[wound_ravens|The Wound Ravens]], but the place is a huge hit. It opens at sundown every day, and closes when Eddie gets tired (usually around 3 am). ​

Every day he brings in a load of cheap bottled beer, a load of ice (stolen maybe?), whatever hard liquor he can get cheap (but it's always above board stuff, never bathtub made), and goes to business. ​ The warehouse is filled with second-hand chairs and tables (stolen maybe) and it lit with kerosene lamps. There'​s a bathroom system of buckets in the basement, that Eddie'​s staff empties into the sewer drains in the street outside.

Because Eddie makes sure everything is running properly, it's become a favorite place to hang out for the less pathetic half of the Bowery inhabitants.
